Vainqueur Cheval
Vainqueur Cheval · Since 2016

FROM BRAZIL
TO ARENAS
WORLDWIDE.

A story built around identity, textile technology and the desire to create jackets that truly belong to the riders wearing them.

Where we began

An idea before a jacket.

Vainqueur Cheval was born in Brazil in 2016, created by Abner and Jessica. Its name brings together two French words — vainqueur and cheval — expressing the idea of victory through the horse. From the beginning, the ambition was to unite exclusivity, equestrian culture and careful construction in garments with an identity of their own.

A story also made by hand.

Before a jacket takes shape, there are drawings, fabric, cutting, sewing and finishing. International growth never replaced this origin: every new chapter was built on knowledge acquired inside the atelier.

Timeline

A decade of decisions.

  1. The idea

    The brand begins in Brazil with equestrian and British references, looking to turn sportswear and tailoring into a language of identity.

  2. The first garments

    Before specialising in the arena, Vainqueur created made-to-measure social garments in wool and cotton. This first phase established its attention to proportion, fabric and detail.

  3. Entering show jumping

    After a series of fabric and composition tests, the brand directed its work towards personalised equestrian jackets, combining technology, exclusivity and made-to-order construction.

  4. The first borders

    Clients and sporting relationships took Vainqueur beyond Brazil, with a growing presence in France, Italy, Portugal, Belgium and the United States.

  5. United Arab Emirates

    Expansion into the UAE brought the brand closer to an international equestrian community and riders looking for personalisation, lightness and presence in the arena.

  6. The VC Wear chapter

    With Gustavo Schneider joining the company as a partner, the brand adopted the VC Wear name for a period and explored other performance categories, including fitness, running and motorsport. The experience reaffirmed its original vocation: the equestrian world.

  7. Back to the name, closer to the origin

    With the return to Vainqueur Cheval, the brand once again concentrated its work on show jumping and dressage jackets. Each piece is individually configured, made to order in Brazil and delivered to riders around the world.

The brand in motion

Identity entering the arena.

Competition jackets gain meaning when they become part of the journey of the people wearing them. Shk. Rashid bin Ahmed Al Maktoum and Natalie Tania Joanna Lankester currently represent that connection between individual creation, sport and international presence.

What remains

Evolution never changed the essence.

Identity

A jacket should not erase the rider. Colour, finishing and applications create a personal signature within the traditions of the sport.

Craft

Every piece is made to order, from cutting to final inspection, with attention to construction and the choices approved by the client.

Performance

Fabric, pattern and movement must work together. Technology only matters when it improves the real experience of competing.
